We decided to forgo the cab ride to the Olympic venue area. One high speed flight a day is our limit. Instead we wandered around the pedestrian area that's a few blocks from our hotel. We're in a very trendy part of town. Everything is glitzy and new. Loads of Olympic souvenirs to be had. I love the Beijing mascots, the Friendlies! Oddly, my two guys don't see the charm in the cute, colorful cartoon pandas. If only Min were here with me . . .

After your phone call from the gate, your mother gave me hourly updates on where your plane might be. As we went to bed last night, we speculated that you were only 2 or 3 hours away from touchdown.
Glad to read that you made it, and you all look great: bright-eyed, enthusiastic, and soaking up all of the local culture. We will eagerly await more stories from China.
Love, Dad
It's GREAT to see you on China soil!!
Enjoy your time! :D
Thanks so much for your "arrival" post. I am so happy to see your smiling faces in Beijing. Hope you are sleeping soundly enough so you can enjoy the sights.
Love, Aunt Rebecca
